I would include a Blu-ray drive in the case. Who knows how long will they be available.

no photos of KGB prisons or gulags? Not surprising..

Re:Apple's Aperture site is still online in 2026 on Thursday May 14, 2026 @05:37AM (#48133086)
I expect it will be updated once Apple renames Photomator to Aperture and adds it to the Creator Suite
As of data (photos, contacts, files etc.), you should have rights to request all that for download. GDPR etc that grants you that.

Set dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled to false in about:config and problem solved. Not the first thing you should disable there and not the last.
Browsers are for browsing internet. So many of them are now turning into bloatware..

At first thought - 4-second reboot sounds great! But at "more than 10,000 times" it's more like a bootloop.

I have only one issue with Firefox - Google Streetview is sluggish for GeoGuessr use. Otherwise it is my default browser on my Linux box. On Macbook Safari is still the best.

Re:Matrix trailer dynamically uses current time on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @11:16AM (#28458336)
any combination is possible but, e.g., all blue videos with g3 will have same g segment.
Re:Matrix trailer dynamically uses current time on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @10:44AM (#28457794)
3 different segments per key/argument, 4 keys/arguments, 2 colors = only 24 random segments inserted
Re:Matrix trailer dynamically uses current time on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @08:26AM (#28456053)
Looks like there are just two resolutions - "high" 1080p, "low" 720p

h = ["high", "low"]

Re:Matrix trailer dynamically uses current time on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @08:10AM (#28455891)
b, e, g, h are random number from 1 to 3

Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) + 1

edit: b, e, g, h are different segments included. So all unique segments are in these videos:

Re:URL shorteners set ad tracking cookies on Sunday January 03, 2021 @03:27PM (#25624916)
Any link on the internet - shortened or not - can after some time die. Domain registration expire, websites get shut down. Domain changes ownership and new site goes up. Relax. It's just a lifecycle of Internet resources. Let us end this conversation. You obviously see things differently.
